More like last meal(s). LOL!

We had Pappasittos, a Mexican restaurant here in Texas with margaritas, fajitas, queso, guacamole...the works.

Another night we had Papadeaux, a Cajun seafood joint and I did a Long Island Icetea, fried catfish, shrimp, fries and a slice of cheese cake.

Our very last meal, the night before pre-op was at Eddie V's steakhouse and I went full on hog wild. Oysters, vodka martinis, salad, filet mignon, blueberry cobbler and an after dinner brandy.

You'd think I was being executed on death row or something.

Get ready for a major change however. I'm 5 weeks out and stomach says no more after about a 1/4 cup of anything.

Binging on food days are long gone and I can't say that I miss it one bit! It's so true that whatever hormone comes out with the stomach portion that is removed reduces hunger and desire to eat tremendously.

Congratulations on your decision and good luck on preop.

I didn't take that approach bc I was afraid of gaining weight I worked so hard to lose. I did however enjoy a little bit of sourdough bread with my favorite homemade French onion Soup.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
